I'd say no.. don't think that there will be a botnet that is strong enough for such a great attack

besides of that google would do something like microsoft did when their site should get a massive ddos.. it was just put offline for few hours tho i doubt that there are quiet enough computers to reach googles server capacity
 
Yes it can but not what you call a DDOS or hacked.
The internet is a big connection between very advanced routers and you have the POP centre that connects all the data so if the POP centre of google goes down many people would not get on Google but this plays again not for the hole world.
 
I think because we all love google, we don't want anything bad to happen to it. And yeah, i don't think so either. Google is the invincible giant of the internet, so I'm wondering what it's gonna be like in a generation or two.

With that being said, twitter was down this morning :D
 
it is impossible. You take down 1 server, 100 others pick up the slack. By the time you brag about it google has already tracked you through your botnet and fucked you in the ass.

Edit: oh even if you take one down you would actually NEVER know it went down.

lol i dont think they would botnet you, however you would get blocked. And yea you wouldnt have a clue it went down.
 
Lets look at this from a mathematical perspective, in 2006 it was estimated that google had around 500,000 servers.
These are in the fastest networks in the world.
So we will assume that most of their servers were being hosted on 1GbPS lines in 2006.
That is 500,000GbPS of bandwidth.
The average home connection is around 2.3MbPS.
You would have had to have at least 115,000,000 nodes in your botnet to bring down their network in 2006, it is obviously significantly larger now.
Even the Russian Business Network as a whole doesn't have this many nodes in every members botnets combined.
I would say it isn't "impossible" but very improbable that their network could ever be brought down.
